Marple Clocks are a small Stockport based company that can repair and service all manner of clocks. For large jobs, there is likely to be a waiting list but small jobs can be taken straight away. Clocks can be collected by arrangement. See the gallery for an idea of the types of clocks we have serviced and repaired in the past.
For a normal service/overhaul, you can expect the following:*
- Thorough inspection to determine whether it has any specific problems and if necessary the customer is contacted with details
- The clock is fully dismantled, including the platform of carriage clocks
- The mainsprings are removed and their condition checked. Replaced if necessary
- All components are cleaned by hand or in specialist solutions, usually making use of ultrasonic cleaning machines
- Each piece is individually examined for wear and tear, using a microscope if necessary
- The pivots are filed and polished as required and pivot holes bushed as necessary
- Any new parts that are required are bought, or manufactured by us if no longer available
- Reassembly and lubrication with specialist oils and grease
- The clock is then fully tested
- The case is cleaned
- A set of job notes is provided, and the clock is guaranteed for twelve months
*other services can be provided on request.
